Stopping hackers

Add an ever changing program to all U.S. Government computers that generates a new password daily. Supply all government computer workers with a flash drive that they have to turn in at the end of every day and can only pick up and use from security each morning. (No flash drive can be removed from the buildings as they have a signal that will sound an alarm if the are taken through the exits. The flash drives will be updated on a closed system every night with the new updated password which the users will never know or have access to on that flash drive. Master password will be stored with the president of the United States of America or the vice president if the president leaves the country on a visit to another country. Master password will allow override to enter government computer system in case of lost or stolen flash drive. new password issued that night will make flash drive useless and the entire system can be shut down if a flash drive is unaccounted for, losing only the rest of that day of access to all government computers. Password issued by the computer each day is unbreakable by anyone in the day the computer generated it.
